Former Florida State star linebacker Ken Alexander will be sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Tallahassee on federal charges of filing false returns for his tax-preparation business.

Alexander, 47, a starting linebacker and team captain of FSU’s 1993 championship team, entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors in April. Under the deal, he would plead guilty to three counts, while six others would be dropped.

He faces at least two years mandatory prison time and hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential fines, according to court documents. He also agreed to make full restitution to the IRS totaling $1.05 million.

“It’s in God’s hands,” Alexander told the Democrat Tuesday.

Alexander owned the now-defunct Wizard Business Center. Alexander faced 10 counts of filing income tax returns for 10 taxpayers from 2012 to 2016 that were “fraudulent and false," according to the indictment.

He agreed to plead guilty to aiding and assisting in the preparation of a false return, aiding and abetting the theft of government funds and aggravated identity theft.

Alexander earned a law degree at FSU after getting an NCAA postgraduate scholarship. However, he never passed the bar exam, according to court documents.
